Just noticed that pressing the tab button on my keyboard doesn't necessarily tab to the next webgui relevant element on a webgui page. Just testing a few of the webgui pages resulted in tabbing to non useful elements of the page. I would think that a page with edit boxes for instance would tab to the next appropriate edit box instead of tabbing for instance to a description icon. Appears this is the default behavior. Any plans to change the default tabbing behavior? This is more of less a cosmetic related issue and isn't something I would suspect isn't a concern at the moment.

We don't have immediate plans to fix all the pages for tab behaviour, but we will certainly accept pull requests which fixes those on a per page basis (or small portions at once, we try to keep the commits small for easier auditing).
I guess for some pages it would already solve a lot if the tab stop is disabled on some elements, it certainly a good idea to improve tab behaviour and order.
